I doubt we'll actually lose these foods. We'll find alternative ways to grow these foods and with any luck, eventually our political system will collapse and maybe we can work toward a more sustainable economy that doesn't require manufactured wants disguised as needs to survive.

Do you use this logic else where? They used to use a geocentric model for the solar system, so I don't take the heliocentric model too seriously.
The point of science is to correct itself if a mistake is made. If this is the only reason you have for denying climate change, you need to keep studying.
Capitalizing 'don't' doesn't make you more correct either.
a study which found... that: Temperate fruit and nut trees like the apple tree, which need a certain period of winter chill to produce economically practical yields, could be affected by global warming as winter temperatures rise. They said farmers should prepare for a warmer future by breeding cultivars with lower chilling requirements.
New types of fruits which thrive in different conditions are being invented all the time. And of course apples can always be grown in Alaska if it ever actually gets too warm to grow them in Washington State. Barring civilizational collapse, there is no way apples will ever dissapear from the average person's diet.
partly rubbish. avocados and potatoes can be grown hydroponically, so they are safe. rice can be grown in a number of places, as can beans and other legumes like peanuts, so those are rather safe. beer can be made from a number of different items, so again that is relatively safe. seafood can be farm raised, so again relatively safe. so the only one at issue are those grown on trees and bushes, like coffee beans, cacao, apples, oranges, and grapes. and even then with modern farming techniques, and modern technology, even these can be grown fairly easily.
so what we have here is an alarmist making claims that are just untrue.
There is one thing we can lose for sure very soon. It's natural honey.
The last scientific observations show that year by year the bee's population on the planet is decreasing. It is possible that some day all colonies of bees will totally disappear.
Climate change can all be stopped--well maybe slowed--right now if you just give new carbon tax money to the world's 13 richest families, and give up all your land to them and move into densely packed, communal people-hives.
tasted good when it was available, but that was before the world wide flood

this can be an issue for sure, however i think there will be ways around this as well. some one will figure a way to save the bee population, probably by creating enclosed areas where bees can thrive in captivity, in huge green houses.
